The IRS will always accept some type of payment arrangement for past due taxes and in order to qualify for a payment plan with the IRS you must meet the following
rules and provide the IRS with such information:
Assuming that you comply with the above list, then you can
proceed to arrange a repayment of taxes with the IRS. The IRS will ask you to complete a personal financial statement and if a business is involved, then you will need a business financial statement
as well. The IRS has determined allowable monthly expenses for individuals, which will be match against your actual monthly expenses. The difference between your monthly income and your allowable
monthly expenses will be the amount that the IRS will require you to pay on a monthly basis. These monthly payments will continue until your outstanding tax liabilities are paid in full. The IRS
continues to add penalties and interest while you are making monthly payments and this may cause you to be paying what you consider a large monthly payment to the IRS and your outstanding balance may
in fact be increasing due to additional penalties and interest. The IRS will not explain this to you. Be careful!
We have been successful in negotiating partial payment plans , this means you will pay only what you can afford each month until the IRS 10 year collection satute expires and in many cases with sucessful technique and negotiation this turns out much better than an offer in compromise.
